We have reached an unprecedented moment in the movement for racial justice and policing accountability. Tens of thousands of people in New York City and across the country are calling for an end to racial and police violence, abuse and harassment of low-income communities of color, including: youth, people who are homeless, women, LGBTQ, immigrants, people with disabilities, and others.

Our campaign to end discriminatory and abusive policing practices in New York has been at the forefront of this work, and at the center of our campaign are those most affected by discriminatory policing.
